I found some old builds and tested to find out when the bug was
introduced.  The most recent good build I have is from 19th Feb.  And
the oldest bad build is from 28th Feb.  I've tried configuring with
and without specifying --enable-font-backend but it doesn't change
this behaviour.

I had a very similar problem on 5th Feb, but adding
--enable-font-backend to the configure line fixed it then.  I've left
that in the configure line since, but now even that's not enough.

Here are the details of my 5 most recent builds.  The top 2 are 'OK'.
The last 3 are 'bad' (with wide fonts).
